This feature of the Moto X is one I really want. Any chance we can get this working on on N4?
No

It's about some kind a chip. Not software.

Hmm, I have heard that one before. Remember when Google Now first came out? There will all sorts of rumors that it could only run on certain phones and so forth. Do we have any evidence to point otherwise in this case?

I'm not a developer but i know enough that its not impossible. It would kill the battery though!

Given that the MotoX is stock Android with the exception of this feature, I might just get one. I have had the N4 since October (November?) when it first came out.....
Can some1 post it for Nexus 4 ?!
Motorola has made the app available for droids and moto x on Play store ::
See " Touchless Control " on play store ..
or here is the link ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.audiomonitor
Can some1 port it for our lovely nexus 4 ?!?!
Yes please. That would be epic. The only thing I like about Moto X
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RSen.OpenMic
This is probably the closest we have to Touchless Controls as of now.
As a proud Nexus 4 owner, running the Nexus 5's Google Experience Launcher, and unrooted, I can categorically declare that the Nexus 5's touchless control with the always on "ok google" hotword detection works flawlessly on the Nexus 4.
You need to make sure you have the GEL apk file installed, and the latest play store update of Google Search.
You need to make sure your voice search settings are set to US English (just like on the N5).
Admittedly, if you, like me, installed the packages from the N5 system dump, you would have found that the hotword worked, but the search would crash.
However that seems to be fixed and working perfectly in the latest Play Store Google Search update, which incorporates the GEL in its code.
So you just need those three requirements I've listed above, and the touchless control ought to work perfectly on the Nexus 4.
Well, it is on mine... I've just started using it today, and it has not crashed on me yet! Although, it remains to be seen what a drain on battery it may be...

What they meant is even when the screen is off or using a different app.

I see, my bad, I've seen similar things posted about the N5 as well... People saying the N5's version of touchless control being hardware dependent, and not available on the N4.
Just got over excited about getting it to work on my N4, hah!

Some MotoX feature is still possible. If you used the latest AOKP nightly (for 4.3) they developed their own ActiveDisplay feature.
I thought that with KitKat, you'll be able to say "Hey Google!" to activate the voice search. I can't seem to find a setting to enable it. Is this a Nexus 5 only feature?
Need gel launcher and only on home screen and it's ok Google

Have you ever looked at an Android blog? If you pick one, any one of them, you can pretty easily see where the "OK Google" comes from and how to get it running on your phone. Its the Google Experience Launcher, not Android 4.4.
I'm running it on my 4.3 phone right now.

Only works on KitKat on the IPhone. If you buy one can I have your nexus for my grandmother please? She is a wiz at using the search tool.
I retrained my launch phrase to be Ok Moto Now and it works better than OK Google Now, plus it doesn't feel as stupid to say!

Cool - just by training? Or did you change something in the system?
You probably will have many more false positives.

Why, it is the same number of syllables? And Moto is somewhat an unusual word like Google.
This is actually a topic I was going to start on Reddit a few days ago. How "Ok Moto" is so much easier to say, and just makes more sense than the ridiculous phrase they came up with. It's also adding to their brand recognition every time someone sees/hears you use it.
I recall reading here that when someone looked into the code that handles decoding the phrase the original may have been "hello moto". The "OK google now" was clearly a google influence. I have tried various other word combos but none work as well as "ok google now", the code is clearly optimized for it.

I have been testing it for hours now and the OK Moto Now works better for me. YMMV.

ITA and it works better for me. Late at night when I am tired or if I have been drinking, I can't even pronounce Google properly, lol! Moto is so much easier to say and not as stupid sounding.
Been trying this with no success - it's as if it realizes I'm saying something other than "Ok Google Now", says "Sorry didn't catch that". Do I need to clear data?

I dropped the "Now" entirely and so far it seems to work just fine with "OK Moto!". Will run with it until I notice any problems. It complained a bit on the 3rd training attempt, but I finally got it to accept the new phrase.

I did that, too and it is working fine for me. Much easier to say OK Moto. And no big deal to retrain if it gives me false positives.
I found just OK moto was activating it when just saying OK. By changing it to ok moto now it works just like saying OK Google now.

I tried Hello Moto and it wouldn't take it.
For the same number of syllables, I'm surprised nobody has suggested "OK Moto X" yet.

That works, too; it is just that it responds before I even get to say "X". So it is really responding to "OK Moto".

It should say/show that your phrase is incorrect. Given enough times it will set it to whatever you say. Mine would respond to "Ok Moo Cow" but the ambient noise issues and accidental dials when I was doing nothing made me change back.
I've had numerous false activations while driving, and once while it was in my pocket. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

My new fancy moto x play is missing a decent feature to check whether I have new messages. I do dig the moto display function, but it isn't enough.
With the lack of a button on the front side of the phone you have to reach up to the side. It's a minor inconvenience, but still...
Double tap would be great wake the phone, but I doubt it can be done at this moment as there's no root yet.
Any thoughts?

No root? We have root and custom ROMs. Just need a dev to add tap to wake to their custom kernel but we only have one person working on a custom kernel so far.

Ah yes, I was reading some older threads mentioning no root. Did some research to find TRWP indeed. Any thoughts on alternative to the double tap though?
Any alternatives for now that don't require root?
No I don't think there is anything quite like it sorry.

i dont think is possible.
no Motorola got this feature with root or less.

Double tap to wake or to sleep? To sleep is possible, but there's no way of activate the double tap do wake without Root (I believe it is possible if the kernel allows it, but I think It won't happen whatsoever).

You can get double tap to wake with a kernel for the 2014 X, so I'm assuming it can be done.

If you use Squids kernel, you can enable the LED on the device. Yes there is one. No I won't tell you about it. Look around the X section. It's really the best way to find out the most about a device.
If you noticed, the moto app has a "screen function" giving you your notifs right away when you move your phone (when you take your phone for example). I use this feature to "wake the screen" and see the SMS or other notifications. Type "Moto" in the android apps search bar and open the Moto app to configure it. There's plenty of other cool features there too. The "speak to me" feature is really helpful when I drive. I can listen to texts, answer to them by voice recognition... Still some bugs sometimes but hey, nothing is perfect huh. Hope this helps.
Also, Automate, Trigger, Tasker and Agent are all apps that can an help you find a way to get over that design default. Everybody that used an LG G2-G3 and prolly G4 too knows how this double tap feature is killer.
Hey guys, as you might know, the "OK Google" hotword detection is not able to be used when the screen is off. I thought this was odd given the sheer amount of sensors packed in the Mate 9, so I wanted to see if I could find a workaround. And find a workaround I did! Best of all, it does not require root and does not drain any extra battery as it takes advantage of one of Huawei's native EMUI features
I'll post a tutorial on the XDA Portal so keep a look out for it!

Sure, I hope you have a better method.
Settings-> Smart Assistance -> Voice control-> Voice Wakup
Enable it and train your voice.
Google Search-> Settings-> Voice-> OK google detection-> Enable From any screen
Train Voice model.
The method doesn't work when phone is locked but I have it Smart unlocked with my Fitbit.

No. OpenMic+ stopped working awhile back because Google told them to stop. Plus using OpenMic+ leads to excessive battery drain.
